AMD RX 6500 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Eagle

Hitman 3 (stylized as HITMAN III) is a stealth game developed and published by IO Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia (under the title Hitman: World of Assassination), and Nintendo Switch on 20 January 2021. It is the eighth main instalment in the Hitman series and the final entry in the World of Assassination trilogy, following Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 (2018). (Wikipedia).

Engine: Glacier. We test using Ultra settings (or High where Ultra is not available), VRS off, DX12 API.

Of the 12 games we tested, the RX 6500 XT does best – and by quite a long way – in Hitman 3. For starters, we see basically no difference between PCIe 3 or 4 in this title, and the 6500 XT is not far at all from matching the 1660 Super. Then again, it’s still only 8% faster than the 5500 XT 4GB, but considering how things have been going so far, this is a much better result.
